For an idol-like figure like Tokugawa Ieyasu, Li Xiao paid enough respect. After all, Li Xiao's purpose was to bring Japan into a weak balance!

Several big forces check and balance each other, and small forces surround them. If a country wants to be strong and unified, at least most of the unification is a necessary prerequisite. I have never heard of a country that is constantly in war.

Prosperous.

Li Xiao is extremely vigilant towards a country like Japan that carries original sin. History has proven that what this country will do to China when it becomes strong. Since I have the final say now, I will definitely not let history repeat itself.

.At least, it won’t happen in our own time.

While Li Xiao was sizing up Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu was also sizing up Li Xiao. He couldn't believe his eyes that this ridiculously young kid in front of him had actually successfully stopped his move to unify Japan!

This guy was too young. At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu sadly discovered that compared with Li Xiao, he was too old. In other words, he would never have the chance to unify Japan again in his life.

But there might be another chance. Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at an incense car with gauze hanging down in the distance.

"Your Excellency, Chief Military Officer, I agree with your request. I will withdraw from the fiefdom of the Maori lord within ten days. At the same time, the gold stolen by Jiuki Yoshilong will also be presented. As for the treasures of the Joseon royal family...! Due to the age

Jiuyuan, it is currently being collected. Please believe in my sincerity, the Tokugawa family will definitely do their best."

Tokugawa Ieyasu was very humble. When he was the boss of a generation of heroes, he was very majestic. Now he pretends to be a grandson, and he does his job.

"Very good! I believe in Mr. Tokugawa's sincerity. As long as you abide by the agreement, I will naturally withdraw my troops and no longer interfere in the affairs of Japan." Li Xiao nodded to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Since I have made these concessions, I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to make a guarantee. I don't quite believe in the Maori family's guarantee!" Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Terumoto Mori, who was kneeling next to Li Xiao.

As an old rival, Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that Terumoto Mori wanted to tear him alive. Because in many cases, he and Terumoto Mori had the same idea.

"What guarantee?" Li Xiao glanced at Maori Huiyuan and asked knowingly.

"Peace! Real peace! The Maori family got what they wanted, and we also need a peaceful environment. Both parties must not seek revenge for the past, otherwise... it will be difficult for me to restrain my subordinates."

"Lord Maori, what do you mean?" Li Xiao also asked knowingly.

"Hmph! As long as General Tokugawa does not provoke, I am willing to live in peace with General Tokugawa." Mouri Terumoto snorted, and there was a lot of unwillingness in his words.

He also wanted to kill his old rival Tokugawa Ieyasu at once, but there was no other way.

Over the years, Tokugawa Ieyasu has been weakening the fiefdom, causing the power of the Mori Terumoto family to be greatly reduced. In the past, they were still able to fight with Tokugawa Ieyasu, but now the strength of the two sides is very different. If it were not for the arrival of Li Xiao, perhaps

He should be thrown to the ground.

Or they were sent to some remote island and left to fend for themselves.

Terumoto Mori didn't want to compromise, but he didn't have the support of Li Xiao. It would have been good if he hadn't been eliminated by Tokugawa Ieyasu. How could he still have the ability to counterattack?

"Okay! Since both adults feel that we can live together in peace, let us drink this cup of tea. Everything in the past has become the past. I hope that the two adults will bring peace to the land of Japan." Li Xiao picked up the tea cup and poured some sake.

I really can’t drink this stuff, so I might as well drink some tea for fun.

Wu Daji was very dissatisfied. North Korea provided Li Xiao with a large amount of supplies. Moreover, King Li Xiao also reduced the payment for many minerals by Li Xiao because of this battle against Japan. But now, he has not gotten any benefits at all.

.

They just talked about returning the treasures from the Japanese Rebellion period, but now none of them have been seen. The peace agreement was reached, and Li Xiao didn't even ask him, the North Korean plenipotentiary, for his opinion.

It's too much to deceive others! It's really too much to deceive others!

But there is no way, his soldiers are not up to par. Without Li Xiao's help, now he would either be driven into the sea to feed the fish by Anji Wakisaka, or he would be forced to go fishing at sea.

He also wanted to be brave and proud, but his strength really didn't allow it.

Li Xiao didn't even bother to look at Wu Daji. Li Xiao was extremely disappointed with the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army. These bulk goods could be used as a transport team.

"Mr. Tokugawa, there is one more thing you seem to have forgotten." After drinking tea, Li Xiao suddenly asked.

"Oh! What's going on?" Tokugawa Ieyasu was worried. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty's chief military officer wanted to temporarily increase the price?

"Where did Huang Taiji go?" Li Xiao was still thinking about Baylor, the flag owner of Zhengbai Banner. He had received the exact news that Huang Taiji was not dead. He was also treated as a distinguished guest by Tokugawa Ieyasu!

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, you will get him." In order to not affect his own power, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't mind betraying this important figure of Houjin at all.

After all, Hou Jin was far away, and Japan and Hou Jin only had some trade interests. But Li Xiao's threat was life and death. It was clear at a glance who should be offended and who should not be offended.

************************************************************************ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Emperor Taiji sat on the boat, watching the rolling waves of the sea. Seagulls chirped from time to time in the sky, and in front of him was Yokohama Port. He escaped here not long ago, and now almost all of his men are dead. Ao was injured.

Bye, only his brother is left.

Obai was huddled in a corner with more than twenty wounds of various sizes on his body. One wound on his back was so deep that the bones could be seen.

Huang Taiji picked up the water bag and gave Obai a sip of water.

"Master Beile! Leave me alone, just leave when you have the chance." Oboi took a sip of water, and his dry lips became moister.

"Where are we going?" Huang Taiji looked at the sea in pain. He was a tiger on land. But in the water, he was no better than a loach.

"No need to be sad, Mr. Baylor. He is in good health and will be fine." Tengtang Gaohu stood behind Huang Taiji, watching Huang Taiji take care of this bear-like guard.

A few days ago, when Takatora Takatora, who was ordered by Tokugawa Ieyasu, found Huang Taiji's ship, Huang Taiji and Obai were making a final struggle with knives!

When the Japanese warship approached the ship, the pirates became chaotic. Speaking of the pirate industry, although Tengtang Gaohu was not the founder, he was at least a very senior person. These pirates were not even his disciples.

superior.

Don't look at the fact that the Japanese navy suffered consecutive defeats when facing Li Xiu. This was the result of generational differences in weapons. If it were really about fighting with gangs, Tengtang Gaohu still had two skills in this era.

Facing the fierce Japanese navy, the pirates were like amateurs fighting against professional celebrities! After relying on help, the samurai holding samurai swords jumped over and killed them. The deck instantly became a river of blood, even if

The pirates knelt down and surrendered. The samurai who were so jealous of the killing also stabbed them in the head.

They have suffered too much from Li Xiu, and now they need to vent. Let out all their dissatisfaction!

Huang Taiji and Ao Bai were saved in this way. Although they survived temporarily, they had to face an uncertain future.

"Tengtang Gaohu, have you considered my suggestion? I can give Port Arthur to your Satsuma clan. With Port Arthur, you can live in Liaodong. Even if you move all the people of Satsuma clan there, it will be no problem!

Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated, and from now on Japan will be ruled by Mori Terumoto. The grudge between your Satsuma clan and their Yamaguchi clan is so deep, do you really think you can live in peace with each other?"

"Master Beile! It's useless no matter how much you say. The Japanese people value the integrity of the body and the land. Since we live in this land, we must accept everything this land brings to us, including the endless wars!

Besides, wherever we go is better than going to Lushun. As far as I know, that is the territory of Li Xiao’s navy. Li Xiao wants to destroy us, but we have no resistance at all. Maori Huiyuan wants to destroy us, but

It’s not that easy. At least, our Kumano navy has not lost when we faced the Maori navy.”

Facing Maori Huiyuan, Tengtang Gaohu was confident. But facing Li Xiao's navy, he was not so confident. So Tengtang Gaohu refused Huang Taiji's temptation without hesitation!

Huang Taiji sighed. It seemed that Tengtang Gaohu was determined to hand himself over to Tokugawa Ieyasu. And Tokugawa Shoyasu would almost certainly hand himself over to Li Xiao.

As for what Li Xiao will do to himself, it is very difficult to say.

Li Xiao! Li Xiao! Just like his name, he is an out-and-out tycoon. Since his rise, he has been stepping on the corpses of Jurchens to increase his strength.

By now, Huang Taiji already knows that it is almost impossible for Hou Jin to defeat Li Xiao and defeat the Japanese navy. He has firmly controlled the sea power!

As long as Hou Jin cannot capture Pidao, eliminating Li Xiao will be out of the question.

Li Xiao's strength is increasing day by day, and it will be a matter of time before Hou Jin annexes Liaodong and controls Liaodong. Perhaps Hou Jin's final fate will be to retreat into the Changbai Mountains and rely on the complex mountains and forests to fight against Li Xiao.

There are not many people in the Eight Banners who have this idea. To be precise, there is Huang Taiji. Maybe there is also Li Yongfang, because this guy controls the most information.

After suffering enough losses from Li Xiao, information on Pi Dao has become a top priority.

What will be the future? Huang Taiji looks at the vast sea. Maybe jumping is an option, but after thinking about it again and again, Huang Taiji still hasn't taken that step. Not everyone has the courage to take that step. Including the pretentious ones.

Huang Taiji!

"Master! Do you think that one day a ship made of iron will be able to float on the sea and walk on its own without sails?" Zheng Sen blinked and looked at Li Xiao in disbelief. Inside his little head, something was going on.

He quickly considered whether he had suffered a loss as a master.

Iron ships can also float on the sea, and they don't have sails. I didn't say that Li Xiao was a madman to his face, which was a great honor to the Ming Dynasty military officer.

"Iron ship...!" Sitting next to Zheng Sen was his three-year-old younger brother Shichizaemon Tagawa, who was listening to Li Xiao's story with tears streaming down his face.

"As long as there is something called a steam engine, this can be done. We can even make steel fly in the sky. But this thing cannot be done by a steam engine alone!" Li Xiao didn't care about little Zheng Sen's eyes, and was still immersed in it.

In the untiring pleasure.

"Steam engine...!" Tagawa Nanzaemon's childish voice repeated again. Children of this age are at the age of learning to speak. Today, all afternoon, he repeated Li Xiao's words like a repeater.

Li Xiao likes this little guy very much. Although this guy's name is Tagawa Nanaemon, he is Zheng Zhilong's biological son! Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a Japanese overseas Chinese.

Now Zheng Sen began to doubt whether his teacher's mind was normal. Even if he was killed, he would not believe it. It was such a nonsense that steel could float on water. Not to mention, let something made of steel fly.

How can a sane person say such a thing?

"Speaking of this steam engine, it's actually not that difficult. As long as there is something called rubber, it will be fine...!"

"Wow!" The Japanese-style sliding door was opened, and a maid painted like a ghost knelt at the door.

"What's going on?" Zheng Sen asked the maid dissatisfied.

"It's time for get out of class to end. Madam has already prepared the meal." The maid replied politely.

Li Xiao watched the conversation between the two in confusion. They were speaking Japanese and Li Xiao couldn't understand it at all.

"Master! Mother has prepared the meal. Please enjoy it together, teacher!" Zheng Sen politely kowtowed to Li Xiao before speaking.

"It's time for dinner...!" When Tagawa Nanzaemon heard about the meal, he immediately ran out excitedly. His two short legs climbed up like clockwork.

This is the rule of the Japanese country. Teachers teach students at home. The students’ homes must provide food for the teacher, and the hostess must do it herself to show respect for the teacher.
